Standing Multi-Segmental Flexion
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Bring your feet all the way together in a standing position. Begin by touching your head chest, rounding your shoulder forward, placing your hands on your thighs, and slowly arching each part of your back while keeping your legs straight. Reach down down and hold that stretch for as long as prescribed. Reverse the motion and return to the starting position.
- FEEL: You should feel a stretch in your back and hamstrings.
- COMPENSATION: Make sure to curve your body forward one segment at a time. Don’t let your toes come off of the ground.
